Has anyone here heard of it or is working with it?

about two years ago i think, or maybe more, we were asked to participate. something about protecting (monitoring?) national infrastructure, and of course they were including the internet. i think someone might have even gone to the free lunch. we never did end up doing anything with it, i remember thinking that something about it was cheesy. i do work pretty closely with the FBI & other Men In Shiny Shoes, so it wasn't just the general distaste for aiding the feds. i may even have the orginal info packet in my office somewhere, but i'm guessing that you have your own similiar package now? i was a little suprised to hear someone mention it. i guess they are still recruiting or getting support or whatever it is that they do. i'm curious about how its going. whoa, here we go (from a mail folder from 1999): <snip> recommended that I contact you regarding the FBI InfraGard Program. We will be having a meeting at the Allegheny Club at Three Rivers Stadium on 10/21/99 at about 9:30 a.m. with speakers from FBI Headquarters, a representative from the Cleveland InfraGard Chapter, CMU CERT Coordination Center and others. The mission of the InfraGard Program will be discussed along with legal issues and the viewpoint from private industry. The program deals with protection of critical information systems across the critical infrastructures which support our nation such as the telecommunications industry, electric power, banking and finance industry and others. I have attached a registration form for you to complete if you are interested in attending. I would refer you to our National Infrastructure Protection Center website at www.nipc.gov for additional information. </snip> yah, so, i wonder how they are doing these days. deeann m.m. mikula director of operations telerama public access internet http://www.telerama.com 1.877.688.3200
